Just make sure inside your directory you have the latest versions of spellsnew.edd, spellsnew.eff and the SpellEffects folder. There aren't too many things other than that that can be wrong. Make sure your settings don't have them turned off.

Telin is there any news on the spell casting on yourself / others casting on you particles to be visible on 1st person view?

[Telin]

Not yet, I could use a more experienced person who's done some reverse engineering with this game and is passionate about spell effects.

Mesmerize target effect. Classic was a little less intense.

Root hand effects are no longer a dense stream and look more interesting in motion.

Fire hand effects are a long stream of one fire particle like classic.

Ballin..

Edit:

Interesting, no particle effects in first person? Hadn't noticed that, let me see if I can do anything.. I'll probably get to this next year sometime so don't get your hopes up but its in the pipe.

Thanks!

Also, wanted to share some exciting news (at least for me). It's just a clue into the fact that I think it'll be possible to align hand particles to the bones again. Using Zaela's weapon editor, I was able to easily change the emitter attachment to the bone. I used the monk epic and changed the particles to healing. It resulted with a classic motion of the hand particles. If I waved, danced, or did the casting animation, the particles flowed outward while maintaining a constant alignment with the arm.

It's hard to tell in a screenshot, but this is the effect. Notice the particles flowed up above the head with the hand and are not all fixed in one direction. If I did ever get this to work on spells, it would require some editing to make them look perfect.
